EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "View with archaeological remains of a pre-Columbian city" transports us back in time to the ancient world. Taken between 1970 and 1990 by the talented photographer Filiberto Pittini, this image captures the essence of an era long gone. In this mesmerizing scene, we are presented with a breathtaking view of an archaeological site that was once home to a thriving pre-Columbian city. The remnants of its glorious past can be seen scattered across the landscape, hinting at the grandeur and complexity that once defined this civilization. The composition is strikingly balanced; our eyes are drawn towards a prominent business sign standing amidst the ruins. Its weathered writing tells tales of forgotten trades and bustling commerce that once animated these streets. A sense of mystery lingers as we ponder what stories may have been etched into those ancient walls. As we explore further into the frame, our attention shifts towards an instrument used for communication during those times – perhaps a tool for recording history or transmitting messages across great distances. This artifact serves as a reminder of humanity's relentless pursuit to connect and communicate throughout history. The stairway leading up towards the sky adds another layer of intrigue to this already fascinating scene. Could it have served as an astronomical observation point? Or was it simply part of daily life for its inhabitants? Above, fluffy clouds dance in harmony with meteorological phenomena, casting dramatic shadows over these remarkable ruins. It is through such natural elements that we gain perspective on how time has shaped both civilizations and landscapes alike. Pittini's skillful capture allows us to immerse ourselves in this moment frozen in time – where archaeology meets artistry. Through his lens, he invites us to reflect upon our own place within history while marveling at the wonders left behind by those who came before us.
